Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 22 | Broadcast partnership | Positive | -1.8% | National Dream Bowl XIV broadcast deal and confirmation of Meme Coin claim process. |
| Dec 22 | Patent issuance | Positive | -1.8% | Issuance of two U.S. patents on blockchain content licensing and tokenized monetization. |
| Dec 15 | NIL exchange launch | Positive | -7.3% | Appointment of Jeremy Roenick to help lead an International NIL Exchange. |
| Dec 11 | Token distribution date | Positive | -0.7% | Setting Dec. 24, 2025 as the Dream Bowl 2026 Meme Coin distribution start date. |
| Nov 26 | Licensing agreement | Positive | -3.6% | Licensing deal with the World Boxing Council for global event-driven monetization. |
Recent AI, sports, and tokenization announcements have consistently been followed by negative next-day price reactions, indicating a pattern of weakness on ostensibly positive news.
Over the last six weeks, Datavault AI reported multiple sports and event-driven AI partnerships, token distribution plans, and an international NIL exchange initiative, yet each headline saw a negative 24h price reaction between about -0.7% and -7.25%. Despite expanding into Dream Bowl XIV broadcasts, launching Dream Bowl Meme Coin distributions, and signing a global monetization deal with the WBC reaching over 170 countries, the stock traded lower after each release. Today’s Dream Bowl Meme Coin II dividend and NFL Alumni Health partnership fit this same sports/AI tokenization storyline.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective shelf on Form S-3 filed Oct. 17, 2025 registers up to 5,000,000 existing common shares for resale by selling stockholders. Datavault AI will not receive proceeds from these sales but bears registration costs. The prospectus highlights going concern language, near‑term financing needs, potential dilution from future issuances, stock volatility, and recent Nasdaq minimum bid compliance regained on Oct. 10, 2025.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock dropped -13.7% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite this promotional Dream Bowl Meme Coin II dividend fits a recent pattern where Datavault AI’s sports and tokenization news coincided with weaker trading. The market may be focusing on fundamentals such as prior Q3 2025 losses and going concern language noted in shelf materials, or on the non-cash, non-equity nature of the digital collectible dividend. Existing resale capacity under the S-3 registration can also factor into sentiment around further equity overhang.

Innovative Dream Bowl Meme Coin II’s NFL Alumni Health addition will Commemorate the World’s First AI Powered Tokenized Bowl Game
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DVLT), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, and digital engagement technologies, today announced two major developments to enhance and elevate the profile of Dream Bowl XIV, scheduled for Jan. 11, 2026, at AT&T Stadium, of which the Company is a licensing partner and co-sponsor.
First, Datavault AI, in collaboration with Dream Bowl XIV and NFL Alumni Health, proudly announces a strategic partnership supporting the launch of Dream Bowl Meme Coin II. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to advancing player health, wellness, and long-term care for former professional athletes, while elevating the Dream Bowl’s mission of preparing elite college football talent for the next level—both on and off the field.
“We are genuinely excited to be working with Datavault AI on a breakthrough initiative that brings artificial intelligence, digital assets, and real-world impact together for the first time,” said Billy Davis, two-time Super Bowl champion and Co-Director of Healthcare Initiatives for the NFL Alumni Association. “Datavault AI is building something truly innovative—an AI-powered token designed with purpose, transparency, and long-term potential in mind.”
Second, in commemoration of the Dream Bowl XIV and consistent with Datavault AI’s focus on applying artificial intelligence to level the playing field in professional organizations, the Company is highlighting how AI can support football organizations in identifying and evaluating talent across traditional athletics and e-sports. In connection with these initiatives, and to demonstrate how tokenization can make select aspects of the game immutable, interactive and verifiable, the Board of Directors of Datavault AI (the “Datavault Board”) has approved a dividend of the Dream Bowl Meme Coin II token to all eligible record equity holders of Datavault AI common stock and other equity securities. The record date for this dividend is Jan. 7, 2026.
The record date for the dividend may be changed by the Datavault Board for any reason at any time prior to the actual payment date, and payment of the dividend is conditioned upon the Datavault Board having not revoked the dividend prior to the payment date, including for a material change to the solvency or surplus analysis presented to the Datavault Board. Subject to the right of the Datavault Board to change the record date, the payment date for the dividend will be determined by subsequent resolutions of the Datavault Board, which payment date will be within 60 days following the record date (the “Payment Date”).
In order to receive the Dream Bowl Meme Coin II digital collectibles, all eligible recipients will be required to open a digital wallet with Datavault AI and execute an Opt-In Agreement, pursuant to which such holders will agree, among other things, to the payment conditions set forth therein, and acknowledge that such holders understand the process for receiving the Dream Bowl Meme Coin II digital collectibles, that the Datavault Board can change the record date or payment date or revoke the distribution prior to the payment date, and that the Dream Bowl Meme Coin II digital collectibles may not have or maintain any value.
The Company will provide further instructions regarding wallet setup, token access, and distribution procedures to stockholders of record of Datavault AI on the books and records of the transfer agents of Datavault AI in a subsequent communication prior to the payment date.
Datavault AI remains committed to innovative stockholder value creation. Building on the successful distribution of the original Dream Bowl Meme Coin on Dec. 24, 2025, this special Dream Bowl Meme Coin II distribution celebrates the historic NFL Alumni Health partnership and provides additional utility to stockholders. Each exclusive digital collectible will feature enhanced utility, including immutable proof of ownership. The Dream Bowl Meme Coin II will be airdropped to Data Vault® wallets on or after the Payment Date. Datavault AI will provide detailed instructions regarding wallet setup, token access, and distribution procedures in a subsequent communication prior to the Payment Date.
